Need help designing large hydro set up

I have grown a lot before but only in soil and I have been asked to put together a large autoflower grow. I need help designing a hydro system for these plants approx 50. Any help would be appreciated. I'll be using 250 watt lights any estimate as to how many I'll need? and any help choosing the strain would be appreciated too! thanks a lot for the help

Ebb and Flow w/ 4x250s

I liked these videos when I was first setting up my hydro system.

You can build your own ebb n flow system.

My opinion is to get 9 250s

Oh and for strain - White Widow is popular in my area right now.

the amount of lights will greatly depend on the size of your unit, also the spacing of your plants how long you plan to veg and such. really need more info. but if it was me I would just get some 6" pvc some 2" pots pump rez and such make a aero system with a few 600w hps lights or some good leds if your worried about power consumption, I currently run a similar system with 30 in a 10'x7.5'x7.5' room with 2 leds and 1 400w hps vertically hung between my two aero units that have 15 plants each results are not huge but are pretty good and the quality is not bad at all.

oh ya strain super lemon haze is a good yielder, or purple haze I just started some super silver haze to mother hoping to clone those for a bit
